Finance for Teachers

With Educator and Facilitator, Anne Burger

Teachers deal with the finances of the school, whether it is in the budgeting process or the collection of money.  Finance is the one aspect of the job where teachers have had little or no training.  Also, it is the one aspect that fingers can be pointed for mismanagement. No teacher deserves the concomitant stress that such a situation would cause, thus it is imperative that all teachers have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities when it comes to finance.

This webinar will cover the following aspects of finance:

• The budget process
• Issuing of school fee statements
• Fundraising
• Learner and Teacher Support Material (L.T.S.M.)
• Stock take
• Money collection
• Travel expenses and claims
